BABY TEETH, THE GREAT FORGOTTEN ONES?

In the last few months we have seen a large number of children with caries in their baby teeth, and in some cases with serious caries.

There is a belief that baby teeth do not require care as they will be replaced by permanent teeth later on. But ATTENTION! This is not the case. The caries in baby teeth is an infectious disease that progressively destroys the dental structure of children and can even interfere with the eruption of permanent teeth. In addition to other consequences such as:

- Severe pain

- Hospitalisations and emergency visits

- Decrease in their physical development

- Decreased quality of life

- High cost of treatment

Caries in milk teeth should be treated as soon as possible by means of a filling or reconstruction. If it is not treated by the paediatric dentist, it can affect the dental pulp and also the eruption and formation of the permanent tooth.

That is why in MIDSA Dentistry & Co our maxim is the prevention.

The oral hygiene We must help them to brush their teeth correctly, even at the beginning of the routines we should do it ourselves and progressively when they acquire the habit and do it correctly we should let them do it themselves.

We cannot fall into the false cliché that a young child with baby teeth does not need to go to the check-ups with your dentistThe dentist will monitor your oral health, give guidelines and teach you how to correctly perform your daily hygiene.

In addition, at MIDSA Odontology Dental Clinic we would like to highlight the importance of the dietary controlreduce sugary substances, avoid foods that can stick to the teeth (they encourage tooth decay) and avoid prolonged contact between teeth and gums and bottles.

Don't hesitate to come to MIDSA Odontology dental clinic in Valencia for your baby's check-ups, MIDSA Odontology always with you.
